Great way to end the day - This was a heap of fun! Great boat, friendly family crew, good provided snacks, and use of snorkling equipment including motorised James Bond style swimming propulsion aid - so easy to use and get around. A Really good evening.

A highlight of our trip. - This was certainty a highlight of our short stay in Palermo. Easy instructions to find, lovely hosts who took care of us, great food and drink and couldn't have asked for more. Small group on the boat, only four of us and our hosts all very friendly. A quick dip in caves, with loads of snorkelling equipment followed by lovely Sicilian street food and of course a drink.

Fantastic Experience - I went along with my partner. We met a lovely couple on the cruise too. The hosts were lovely and took us to a really cool cave. Though it was raining slightly that did not ruin the experience. Amazing Aperol Spritz and the Cannoli was amazing. Highly recommended. Whole tour takes 2.5 to 3 hours!

Fantastic boat tour with Angela and Alberto - We loved our boat tour, we enjoyed our small group of four guests, stopping at the caves, enjoying the wonderful snacks, aperitif and connollis plus the sailing around the bay in front of beautiful Palermo. Angela and Alberto were the perfect hosts!

The tour was perfect, and... - The tour was perfect, and our hosts were so friendly! They drove us around for a while and let us swim and use their water scooters/ snorkels. When we were done swimming, they prepared snacks and drinks. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Palermo. We had so much fun!

Highly recommended! - Fantastic experience! 🤩 Tour straconsigliato for those who want to live an experience with all the comforts, Luca and Angela were extremely available, among other things inside their boat nothing was really missing, our child had a great time in total safety and we relaxed, not to mention their typical Sicilian street food , we will definitely be back ❤️

Incorrect/Poor starting point - I flew from Rome to Palermo to go on this cruise. The starting point address was incorrect. It cost me $125 to take a taxi there and it was the wrong starting point. I would hope at least a credit back for this ticket to use in the future.
